Typical Clarete : blend of red grapes (Garnacha tinta) and white grapes (Viura). Traditionally very classic for this region, but hardly made by anyone anymore.
Vinification
The grapes come from an 80-year-old vineyard where red and white vines are planted together. Maceration of 3 days with full bunches for the red grapes and de-stemmed for the white grapes. Pressing to 65% and then fermentation (natural yeasts only) on cement and inox cuves. The wine then also receives its malolactic fermentation.

Trial analysis
Lovely light rosé in colour. In the nose, lovely red fruit with mineral undertones. Lots of tension in the mid-palate and a nicely complex finish. Very original !
